Document Summary
**themes from first three weeks will echo throughout the rest of the course** Moving forward: three hands-on assignments structured around labs. K7652: room number where office hours are held today and tutorials will be held tomorrow. Documents often symbolize the truth in story telling (a clip from soylent green shown as example of how popular culture documents are often portrayed as symbols of truth). **known as secondary sources because the researcher did not collect the information directly from the study participant** Readings: mcculloch speaks about history of documentary research and how it rose in a moment of time (early half century of europe) when in modern society many people were learning to read and write/lots of records were being created. He speaks about how civilizations could capture life by inscribing it onto paper. Key point: such records might well provide insights into the processes and workings of the social structures of the modern age.
